Stupendous!

juanita_h, May 2024

Nicholas was a fantastic driver and tour guide. He was waiting for our party of 6 at the Fira location when we got off of the cable car. He was very courteous and professional. The tour was very informative and the sights were breathtakingly beautiful. Nicholas provided white glove customer service, and we highly recommend this tour.

Amazing

Alex_G, May 2024

I really liked that Nicolas our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the island and its history. He took us to Oia first to avoid the long lines from the cruise ships. I really like the vibes of Perissa beach. Everything was on the strip of the beach.

we all ( 6) enjoyed a delightful, relaxing and informative day on the beautiful island of Santorini with Dimetrius. It was a great way to see many parts of the island in a 4-5 hour span while on a Greek Island cruise ship. Arrangements went very well including one day notice of itinerary change. Would RECOMMEND to anyone. Thanks Dimetrius for a very Memorable day. we all thought it was a Great value.

George Duke is the best guide in Santorini! He’s very informative. He knows the best spots for photos. He asked about our interests & made sure our kids were not too tired. He speaks English well. Before bringing us back to our hotel, he even asked if we wanted to do a trip to the grocery for stuff we need. Amazing guy! We had a great afternoon with him!

The best tour guide in Santorini

Christopher_C, Feb 2024

Our tour guide George was incredible. He picked up my wife and I from our hotel and welcomed us into his luxurious private shuttle. George was extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and a genuinely pleasant individual to spend the day with. He was even gracious enough to take photos of my wife and I celebrating our honeymoon in beautiful Santorini! I would highly recommend George to any family or friends traveling here.

Beautiful Santorini

Deborah_P, Oct 2023

My Husband and I did a wonderful private 5 hour tour with Lee. (Can’t spell his Greek name) we saw every inch of the beautiful island, from Oia to the lighthouse, the highest point at the monastery and everywhere in between. Santorini is our absolute favorite in the Greek islands.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Deborah, we're so happy to hear about your wonderful 5-hour private tour with Lisandros. It sounds like you explored every corner of the beautiful island, from Oia to the lighthouse and beyond.

Dimitri was a wonderful guide! He was friendly and energetic. It was a great day!

Lots of stops along the tour to walk and take photos. Beautiful day!

Curt_J, Sep 2023

We got to see beautiful views without any crowds. A private tour is the way to go. Saw most of the island plus smaller villages off the beaten path. We now have recommendations for restaurants and places to sight see that we couldn't get to during the tour. Highly recommend!

Tony did a wonderful job driving us around the island and telling us of its history. My husband wasn’t feeling well and Tony did everything he could to prevent him from straining on stairs. We had a great lunch at a restaurant he suggested and saw all the sites on my list.

An amazing day from start to finish. Jon was excellent, very friendly and knowledgeable and knew the best places to take us, including the lesser known hidden treasures! He took great photos for us too. The car was so comfortable and the air conditioning much appreciated!
